Re: CFRN REQUIREMENTS

["Doug Wright" <lfgrd10@hotmail.com>]

D.T.,
I say go for it!  You sound like you have the drive, and determination it 
takes to do the job.  Let no one stand in your way.  As far as it making it 
easier to get a flight job, all I can say is it can't hurt.  I don't believe 
in just taking a test for the sake of having a bunch iof initials behind 
one's name.  I believe that you have a mission in mind.  Follow you 
objective.  Good luck!  Your efforts will take care of you well.  I speak 
from experience.
                                           Sincerely,

Doug Wright,R.N.
